The camera switches to Sylvia, who is watching the show from her TV, until her door burst open as the Director of Talent Relations, Reiko Hinamoto comes in with less than pleased look.
"Mind telling me what the hell this is?" Reiko asked, slamming down a stack of paper on Sylvia's table."
"Those are contracts for my new signees...your point?" Sylvia replies in a deadpan tone.
"The point is these contracts that makes all of them forgo developmental and and goes straightly to the main roster, starting next week. Now I've told before, all rookies must head down to Rose Academy, no exception." Reiko said.
"Well you have no choice but to make one because I've paid a lot of money to bring these girls in to save this fledgling place." Sylvia says. "Having someone like them would increase revenue by tenfold as well as giving it more credibility." The camera pans to Reiko's face as she switches to a more relaxed look.
"If that's the case, then I guess I'll greet some of our new signings next week..."
"I'm warning you, Reiko, I don't need anymore insubordination from others." Sylvia said.
"Me? You know I would never...EVER cause such a racket..." Reiko said. A small cheer from the crowd is heard just as the Zero Fighter leaves the office. The Majority CEO slouched back in her chair and begins massaging her temple, trying to get rid of her ever increasing headache. Sylvia picks up phone start dialing a couple of numbers before placing it on ear. After a few seconds, someone on the other line picks up.
"I'm terribly sorry to call you at the time like this but I may need your assistant a bit sooner..." Sylvia says to the person on the line.
"Why can't our boss catch a break?" Dee asked.
"Maybe if she didn't try to bend things her way, she would be having migraines right now." Robin replied.

Forest green lights shines across the stage as the Redhead Soldier steps through the curtain to a round of boos.
"The following contest is scheduled for one fall and it is a Dangan Club Challenge Match! Introducing first, currently residing in Alexandria, Virginia, she is representing the Dangan Club...MERYL SILVERBURGH!" Annie announced.
"Despite this being the first matchup the series, you gotta believe that this is very important match for Satsuki." Robin said. "To ban someone like Meryl from her International Championship match against Homura would greatly increased her chances."
"But on the other hand, this is a great strategy from Homura." Dee commented. "Bringing out your big guns first in order to crush Little Miss High and Mighty from the get-go!"
"Well let's see if this strategy works out for her." Robin says.
Meryl arrives to ringside and hops on the apron, giving a quick glance at the crowd before stepping through the ropes and going to her corner as Camo color streamers falls in the ring. She fixated her eyes up towards the stage.
("Sternness" by NOAH plays)
A bright white light engulfed the entire stage. A few moment goes by until a figure is seen from the light, revealing themself as Satsuki herself, basking in the mixed reaction from the crowd, although with slightly more cheers.
"And her opponent, from Honno City, Japan. She is the GAIA International Champion...SATSUKI KIRYUIN!" Annie announced.
"Since winning the International title, Satsuki has been on quite the tear. One must wonder if she can truly overcome the obstacle that is Meryl." Robin said.
"Don't count on it. Meryl won't be like the other chumps she's face so far." Dee said.
The School Council President makes her way down the ramp to the ring, walking up the steel steps and stepping inside as white and blue streamers greeted her. She gives Meryl an equally intimidated look as she unbuckled her title from around her waist and hands to over the Referee.
(Bell Rings)
The two steps in the middle of the ring. Meryl raises up her right arm, signaling that she wants a test of strength, Satsuki becomes cautious for a moment but decides to challenge Meryl anyway. The two locks up, Meryl shows her strength from the get go as she twisted the School Council President arms downward and begins locking more pressure on the fingers. Despite being in quite the predicament, Satsuki still keep a calm expression on her face, moving her arms back upwards and flips Meryl over with a Modified Northern Lights Suplex that sends the Soldier to the mat, the Champ keeps the fingers interlocked as her rolls over right on top of Meryl, dropping her right knee into the face of the Dangan Club member!
"That is uncalled for!" Dee yelled.
"That's what she gets for wanting a Test of Strength." Robin chuckled.
Satuski grinds her knee into Meryl's face before standing up and dropping her knee into the face multiple times! After the 8th Knee Drop, she decides to drop both knees on the Soldier's chest! 1...2..2.3! Satsuki picks up Meryl Irish Whips her to the corner, running towards her to hit a Lariat but get caught by an advancing Meryl, who flapjacked her towards the corner, causing International Champion's head to cracked the top turnbuckle! The Dangan Club Enforcer is back on her feet, grabbing Satsuki by the waist and nails a Snap Suplex. Meryl quickly begin stomping on the back of Satsuki and locks in Modified Camel Clutch, pressing her knee into Satuski's back and starts wrenching backwards.
"Make her humble, Meryl!" Dee yelled.
"Great unbiased commentary, Dee..." Robin says sarcastically.
The Referee starts asking Satsuki if she quit but the School Council President continues to be resilient, slowly creeping forward, managing to get her hands on the bottom rope. Meryl begins pulling up Satsuki back up but Satsuki fires off a flurry of Forearm Strikes to face, backing Meryl towards the nearby corner and hitting the Soldier with multiple Knife-Edge Chops and Right Jabs before stepping back to hit the Lariat this time around but Meryl once again denied it by booting Satsuki in the face... but the International Champion recovers quickly and blasts her with Running Calf Kick, sending Meryl crashing down down on the lower turnbuckle, the IC Champion isn't done yet as runs to the opposite corner and dashes back...hitting the seated Meryl with a Hesitation Dropkick! Satsuki pulls Meryl out of the corner and goes for the cover, 1...2..Meryl kicks out at 2.4!
"Despite breaking out of the Camel Clutch and delivering some hard-hitting moves, Satsuki still can't put down the Soldier." Robin commented.
"She gotta bring a lot more than those weak craps to get the win against Meryl." Dee said.
Satsuki brings Meryl back up and starts drilling her with Forearm Strikes before slapping Meryl cross the face, yelling "Is this the best you can do?!" which lit a fire in Meryl's eyes, causing her to lift up the champ and slams her down to the mat with a Saito Suplex and and proceeds to relentlessly stomps into Satsuki. The Dangan Club Enforcer then yank up the School Council President and Biel Throws her over to the nearby corner. The champ rest on the lower turnbuckle for a few moments until Meryl begins nailing her with multiple stomps to the face, Meryl starts yelling "Is that better?!" before hitting the International Champion with a one last stomp to the head that causes her whole body to go limp. The Ref pulls Meryl away and begins checking on Satsuki, who has a glassy look in her eyes.
"Satsuki might have suffer a concussion after those boots to the head." Robin said.
"She brought it up on herself for underestimating Meryl." Dee said.
The referee continues to check on Satsuki, debating on whether or not to stop the match while the crowd begins booing at the possibility of a ref stoppage but Meryl drags up Satsuki and starts giving the unresponsive champion several jabs to the face before wrapped her hands across Satsuki's throat, slowly squeezing tightly as the referee starts reprimanding her for the illegal maneuver. Meryl lifting her up and dropping her down to the canvas with a Rat Patrol Drop (Sit-Out Chokebomb)! The Ref begins the count!
"I don't know about you Sparkles but it's..." Dee begins saying.

SATSUKI KICKS OUT AT 2.999! The crowd are simply shocked at Satsuki being still in match.
"...And NOT SINKER...DAMN!" Dee screamed.
"It appears that Satsuki still has a little life within herself but was that simply just a natural reaction." Robin wondered.
The camera pans to the displeased look on Meryl's face as she stares down at Satsuki and begins picking up the International Champion, drilling her a hard Forearm Smash that sent her staggering backward to the ropes. Meryl couldn't help but chuckles at Satsuki's predicament. The Dangan Club Enforcer starts toying with Satsuki, slapping her upside the head several times before stepping back and spreading her arms out, telling the Champ to give it her best shot. Satsuki pulls herself off the ropes and catches the Redhead Soldier with a European Uppercut that didn't seem to affect Meryl as she simply brushes it off. Meryl tells Satsuki "Is THAT the best you got?", causing Satsuki to retaliate VICIOUS Knife-Edge Chop across Meryl chest, making a loud echo around the arena. Meryl stumbles back a little while clutching her chest. Meryl tries to throw a Right Jabs but Satsuki hits her again with a Knife-Edge Chop with much more authority this time around, causing the Enforcer legs to buckle a little. Meryl couldn't help but breathe heavily as lunged forward, trying to connect with a Clothesline but Satsuki counters with an Drop Toe Hold and locks in a Stepover Toehold Sleeper!
"STS is locked in! Could we see tap out right here?" Robin wondered.
"Not a chance, Sparkles." Dee replied.
The Redhead Enforcer struggles for a while, trying to reach the bottom rope but the IC Champion wrenches up Meryl's neck, trying her best to restrict the Soldier's breathing, payback from earlier. Moments goes by and Meryl appears to be on the verge on tapping out as the ref continues to ask her if she's ready to give up, but Meryl continues to show her resiliency as she finally managed the drape her arm across the bottom rope, causing the hold to be broken up.
"Meryl was lucky to get a arm on the rope when she did." Robin says. "A few more seconds and she would have been choked out."
"Quit acting like you're goddamn Nostradamus!" Dee snapped.
Satsuki grabs Meryl in a Front Headlock and begins pulling her up but Meryl drops down to a knee, preventing her demise. The IC Champ tries getting her back up but to no avail, causing her to relinquish the hold and cracks Meryl underneath the chin with a High Knee! Satsuki hits ropes and comes back, stepping off Meryl's Knee and nailing the Dangan Club Enforcer with Zenkan (Running Soccer Kick to the chest of a kneeling opponent while using their knee for leverage)!
"The Enforcer of the Dangan Club is probably after that." Robin says.
"Come on, Meryl. Get your head back in the god damn game!" Dee exclaimed.
Satsuki looks at the dazed Redhead Soldier signals for the end as begins lifting up Meryl in a Fireman Carry position, attempting to go for Bakuzan (Spinning Fireman's Carry lifted and dropped into a Side Slam/ Kagetora's Ikkitousen) but Meryl lands several Back Elbows to the Champ's head, causing her to free the Enforcer, who tried hitting Satsuki with Desert Eagle (Jumping Thrust Kick) but Satsuki is able to duck at the last second and grabs hold of the leg, lifting up Meryl...

MERYL KICKS OUT AT 2.899! The crowd starts groaning.
"AND MERYL IS STILL IN IT!" Robin exclaimed.
"THAT'S IT, MERYL! TIME TO MAKE YOUR COMEBACK!" Dee cheered loudly.
Satsuki cursed under her breath as she lifts up Meryl, who rakes the the Champ's eye, allowing the Redhead Soldier to Double Underhooks both of Satsuki's arms and lifting her up for Silver Lining (Double Underhook Backbreaker)! Meryl to a nearby corner and waits for Satsuki to stand again. Satsuki is barely up as Meryl charges for another shot at Desert Eagle but is denied once again as Satsuki grabs hold of the foot and twists Meryl around, locking in a waist lock in the process. Satsuki tries going for a German Suplex but Meryl keeps her weight down, preventing the move before breaking free and transitioning behind Satsuki for a German suplex attempt of her own. Satsuki resisted but is taken a few inches off the mat, causing the International Champion to deliver several Back Elbow to the Soldier face, causing the waist lock to be broken up but Meryl has other plans as she pushes Satsuki towards the referee. Satsuki managed to screeched to a halt, inches away from ref BEFORE GETTING DRILLING HER IN THE BACK OF THE HEAD WITH DESERT EAGLE!
"BOOM! HEADSHOT, BABY!" Dee yelled in delight.
"That could be all she wrote after that vicious Desert Eagle!" Robin exclaimed.

SATSUKI GETS HER RIGHT ARM UP AT 2.999!
"Why won't she stay down?!" Dee exclaimed.
Meryl gets up and grabs the ref by the shirt, yelling and it was three before turning her attention back to Satsuki. The Dangan Club Enforcer picks up Satsuki and Irish Whips her towards the ropes, catches her on the rebound with a pop up...BUT IT GETS CAUGHT WITH A DROPKICK, CAUSING THE CROWD TO EXPLODES INTO CHEERS!
"Satsuki with a Dropkick from out of nowhere!" Robin exclaimed.
"Noooo... You gotta be kidding me..." Dee groaned.
Satsuki hops back up, refusing to go for the cover as she yanks Meryl back up, leaving the Redhead to adjust what happened in her mind as the Champion bounces off the ropes...TO ROCKS MERYL WITH A LARIAT! Satsuki covers Meryl, 1...2...SATSUKI YANKS UP MERYL HEAD AT 2.8!
"Oh no...It appears that Satsuki isn't finished with her yet." Robin said.
"WAKE UP, MERYL!" Dee yelled. "You're supposed to be the impenetrable fortress in all of this..."
Satsuki glares down at the knocked out Soldier before making a gun-like gesture with her right hand, pressing against Meryl's head, and fires it off as she begins picking her up...AND HITS BAKUZAN! Satsuki covers Meryl...

"Despite being in a pinch, she has shown once again why she's a resilient champion."
"Oh please spare me from that crap." Dee groaned. "This match should have ended the second Miss Big Ass Bushy Brows got knocked out."
"What I'm sorry you feel that way...well...not really but Satsuki has knocked out one big obstacle in Meryl and you can be certain that Homura is in the back with Rei and Lal trying out some sort of game plan for next week." Robin says.
The camera still remains on Satsuki as she rolls out of the ring and proceeded to go to the back, holding up her International Championship high in the sky as most of the fans in the crowd chanted her name.
Backstage, the camera shows Miu Kazashiro, pacing back and forth on her phone.
"Yuki, this is the tenth message already. I know you still banged up from last week but you gotta leave the hotel room and come to the building please. I'm have to do commentary in the main event tonight and I can't be alone out there while those vultures fighting to get a shot at my baby.." Miu says while admiring her reflection in the Television title as the crowd boos.
"Ugh...I can't believe have to take care of that alternative world loser in order to face you and take that title..." A voice said in the background, revealing themselves as Rose. The crowd begins booing at the side of the Black Monster, although there are some cheers. Miu hangs up her phone.
"Just when my day couldn't get worst, I gotta to be confronted by the living fossil..." Miu groaned.
"Awww... Don't be like that I'm certain that after I crush Lucy, you're going to be seeing a lot of me." Rose says.
"Something I hope it doesn't happen. I don't none of your dragon whatever stench on me." Miu says, backing away with a disgusted look on her face.
"You mind saying that again little girl." Rose steps towards Miu until...
"Whoa whoa whoa, ladies. Don't get into a scramble here." Lucy Ashley says, stepping into view to a chorus of cheers.
"Annnddd it's get worse..." Miu groaned once again.
"I wouldn't say so yet. I still need to finish what I started at Showdown in the Sun" Lucy says, pointing at Miu's neck.
"Well you won't have a chance if I have anything to say about it tonight." Miu replied.
"HEY! Don't you two take me lightly. I guess you two didn't see what I did last week." Rose crosses her arms in aggravation.
"Well all I saw was you having an bitch fit because you couldn't get your hand on Queenie here *pokes at Miu's neck*
"DON'T...*swipes Lucy's hand away*... do that." Miu snapped. "I would to say good luck out there but we all know that would be full of crap, so I'm hoping you both beat the living hell out of each other for my enjoyment." Miu smirks before walking away, leaving the two opponents for the main event to stand in a face off as the show goes to commercial.
